Holiday in Puerto Rico

What makes Puerto Rico special as a destination?

Puerto Rico is the sunniest place in Gran Canaria and a true family paradise on the southwest coast of the island. Nestled in a sheltered bay between steep mountain slopes, the resort enjoys a microclimate that is outstanding even by Canarian standards: over 340 sunny days a year and virtually no wind or rain. For German families with children, Puerto Rico has been one of the most popular destinations in the Canaries for decades. The beach of Puerto Rico lies in a semi-circular bay, protected from wind and waves, with fine golden sand and calm, gently sloping water. For children, the bathing enjoyment here is ideal - the water is warm, the current minimal, and the bay manageable. In addition to the main beach, the nearby Playa de Amadores offers a wider, artificially created dream beach with light sand and turquoise water, regularly counted among the most beautiful beaches in the Canaries. Puerto Rico is also a hotspot for water sports and boat tours. The harbor is the starting point for deep-sea fishing tours, where marlin and tuna fight on the line, as well as for dolphin-watching trips in the fish-rich waters off the coast. Jet skiing, parasailing, and banana boat rides provide action on the water. The Angry Birds Activity Park and various mini-golf courses make Puerto Rico the perfect family destination. The terraced buildings on the steep mountain slopes give the place its characteristic appearance - an amphitheater of white and colorful buildings that stretches from the bay to the heights. In the evening, the place shines like a sea of lights. The shopping centers and promenade offer a good selection of restaurants and shops. From Germany, it takes just under five hours to fly to Gran Canaria, and Puerto Rico is reachable from the airport in 35 minutes.
